A/N Surprise! I had an inspiration so I decided to wrote this story a little more. Now Nanami's suggest comes to light and we're going to know more of this situation's backstory. Enjoy!

Black and white promise

"I'm home!" Nanami stepped inside her house and toke her shoes off. She placed them carefully next to the outside door.

"Do you live here alone?"

"Yes I live."

"Then why do you say 'I'm home'?"

Nanami turned her head towards Hinata like he's stupid. Hinata was standing near the door, but weren't inside.

"I got used to it when I was younger."

"And is it really okay to come inside?"

Nanami sighed. "Yes, it's okay. I've said it to you more often than a beginner dies in video games." She placed her backpack next to her black shoes.

Hinata came inside and closed the door.

"Take your shoes off, I don't have slippers so come with socks." Nanami was swiping her brown skirt and her green hoodie.

Hinata did exactly what Nanami said, he toke his shoes off and placed them next to Nanami's. He walked to the living room.

Nanami had already walked to the living room. "So... this is my home." Nanami smiled and turned to look Hinata.

"Looks pretty empty. Not even pretty. Here's completely nothing, expect these white walls." Hinata looked around.

"I know. But because it's empty, there's space to other stuff. Like to your bed. I thought, that I could put it to that corner." Nanami pointed to the furthest corner. "You can place your stuff around it."

"But you know... I don't have anything."

"You don't have anything yet." Nanami smiled even brighter.

Hinata didn't understand. He stared at Nanami in his school uniform. He didn't catch the idea. "What do you mean by 'yet'?"

Nanami sighed. "Did you really think that I'm going to leave you on your own? No, I'm going to take care about basic things what everybody needs. We're going to get a job to you and an apartment and..."

"Wait. I'm in high school. I can't have a job."

"You explain that to you later. Do you want to play video games?" Nanami walked to her bedroom and Hinata followed her.

Nanami's bedroom was much more home-like than her living room. Everywhere in her room was full of game consols, monitors and controllers. In one corner was Nanami's bed. Next to the bed was a photo frame. It was towards the floor so you can't see what photo is in it.

"What game you want to play?" Nanami asked and toke a controller.

"Can I look what's in this photoframe?" Hinata pointed to the photo frame.

"Oh, that! Of course you can, you have all right to see it!" Nanami came to Hinata and watched when he turned it over.

"Wh-what? How? Why? When? I don't remember?" Nanami didn't expect this kind of reaction. In the photo was she and Hinata, sitting at a water fountain. They both were smiling in their school uniforms and they had games with them. Nanami had a pink one and Hinata blue one. The photo was very carefully token, like a expert had token it.

"Maybe I should now tell you why you were in hospital", Nanami suggested.

Hinata looked at Nanami. His looked like he was angry and his glance said: "Tell me about this photo, now."

"They are connected. But before we start, promise me that you listen to the very end and you don't blame me."

Hinata's face was full of suspicion but he nodded.

"Okay", Nanami sighed. She was prepared to this, she knew that she had to tell. But now, when the time is, she can't say a single word. She gulped and started. "About half a year after we entered to Hope's Peak, I bumped you at that water fountain. I was so focused in Gala Omega, the game what I was playing, that I didn't notice you. When I was going to walk away, you recognized the game's soundtrack. In that day, I got my very first friend. You told me, that you didn't have friends because of your want to go to Hope's Peak. But not long after that, you disappeared. Completely. Nobody didn't tell where you are and I asked it every day. I even waited for you every day at the water fountain what was our meeting place and once in front of Reserve Course. But you didn't never come."

Nanami toke a little break.

"About when a other half a year passed, there's Hope's Peak started to change. There were tragic things. Like they talked that whole school council was murdered by person named Izuru Kamukura. And after that, my one classmate, Tsumiki-san, disappeared. Nobody didn't know where she was. Later the Reserve Course went crazy. Nobody didn't know why. So we in the Main Course had to stay inside, but my classmate, Komaeda-kun had seen Tsumiki-san outside and we couldn't let her wander around. So we went to looking for her. In outside Komaeda-kun found a secret passageway by luck. We went down and met a person. She was weird and kinda scary talking about despair and some kind of brainwash. She looked like she wanted to be friends with me. I'm sure I've seen that person somewhere before. Then Komaeda-kun tried to kill that person, but one other person showed up. He had black hair and was in the Reserve Course's school uniform. But it was you. The face was same, expect that the person had red eyes."

Hinata looked very scared. He wasn't feeling well, that was for sure. He was as pale as a ghost.

"And that person toke the gun from Komaeda-kun and shot him. He didn't luckily die. The girl called that person by name... Izuru Kamukura."

If possible, Hinata looked like he felt worse than before. He didn't want to believe that. "C-continue, please."

"I asked him that is he Hajime Hinata. I didn't want to believe it either. He answered 'Is he the one that I were before?' Then he told me than his memories, emotions, thoughts and hobbies were completely toke away. After that, my homeroom teacher, Chisa Yukizome came and helped me out, but they made her stay by force. One the same day, the whole class including Tsumiki-san went to rescue her, but halfway downstairs she bushed me. I flew backwards, hit a wall and it turned. I fell to a cap. When I woke up Yukizome-sensei was there and we went to an elevator. Sh-she b-bushed me in th-there and it w-went down."

Nanami started to hesitate and sobbing.

"I-i was forced to enter to a maze, where w-were all kind of tr-traps and I went th-through a d-door. In the-there a-a spear flew a-at m-me but I-i dodged i-it. T-there c-came more f-from t-the floor and my r-right arm a-and leg i-injured b-badly."

Nanami gripped her hoodies sleeve and pulled it up. It was full of scars. She put the sleeve quickly down again.

"T-the l-last t-thing w-what I r-remember is a black-h-haired b-boy. T-then I l-lost my c-consciousness."

Nanami couldn't continue. Her sobbing turned to crying. She understood that she couldn't continue yet. "C-can w-we t-ta-take a p-pause?"

Hinata nodded. "Do you want to be alone?"

"N-no..."

So they stayed in the room. Hinata noticed that explaining this was hard to her.

They just sat. Time passed. Five minutes turned to ten, and those to fifteen.

"Phew..." Nanami calmed down. "Now we can continue."

Hinata nodded. He had time to think about this, so he felt better, too.

"Later I woke up in school's infirmary. All my classmates were around me and they were crying. One of them, Koizumi-san, told me that me walking in the maze was showed to everybody in class. She told me that they were glad that I survived. And I'm glad too, if I did die there I coudn't spend time with my friends and play games with you, Hinata-kun. But horrifying things didn't end there. Everyone in Reserve Course, after they've destroied the Main Course's side, they committed suicide. I was so scared. Killings shouldn't be never allowed. But I was scared, that you, too, had committed it. I thought that it probably had happened before two weeks ago. Yukizome-sensei called me in phone and asked that can we meet face to face. I was a little suspicious of that, but we met in public park at the same day. I was there before the meeting time and when Yukizome-sensei came, she was crying. She apologized after apology, and told me that the girl in the secret passageway had brainwashed her. But like my classmates, she was finally free for it and then she told me about you. That you were in hospital and I have all right to go look. So I went. Your doctor told me, that you have already been there a week. After it I came every day. And I got know that you had been some kind of surgery, which hopefully turns you back to Hajime Hinata. They told me that you probably couldn't remember much and someone has to take care of you. So I volunteered. I told them, that I were your friend at the same school. That's why I got to be there when you woke up. I was so happy that you were back. Not in the best condition but still."

Nanami smiled. "I know that it was absurd story, but it's true."

"I'm glad that you told me that."

"Huh?"

"I were thinking about everyday that why I cant remember and why I have a little scar on my right cheek. That I couldn't remember it. Why everyone was so careful around me. Like they were scared." Hinata thought out loud.

"I don't blame you for that. Kamukura did what he did, but many people does blame you. But now, what game you want to play?"

"You can choose."

Nanami toke one game off from her bookshelf. The bookshelf was full of games. "Yes, I know, this is the second part of this series, but the protagonist is so much like you and the game's other characters are like me and my classmates. It takes place on island but hey, it's only a video game. One very odd detail is that the blood is pink. But I know that you're going to like it."

Nanami put the game to her PS3 and started the game.

Hinata played it for some time. Nanami went to put his bed to its place and sat behind Hinata.

"I like how you can spend time with everyone." Hinata smiled. "Hey, this one loves games, just like you."

"Yeah, I know! Isn't that cool?"

Hinata nodded. "I'm a little bit sleepy."

"Don't worry, tomorrow is Saturday. I don't have to think about working."

"You have a job already? How much time have really passed since... you know."

"About three years."

"WHAT?!" Hinata stared at Nanami.

"You can look a calendar."

"I don't have to. I believe in you. What you're doing for your job?"

"I'm a game tester. You know, when a new game comes out, some people have tested it

beforehand. I belong now to the 'some people'."

"It must be fun."

"It is. I can play games all day! I have to take notes too, but that's only a little thing."

"I'm going to go to sleep." Hinata yawned.

"Good night! I'll be awake some time - I want to play a other game. It's fanmade so I haven't tested it yet."

"Good night." Hinata walked out of the room.

Nanami smiled by herself. I'm happy that Hinata came. Now I can be better friend to me... Nanami blushed. Or even more than a friend.

Nanami toke her laptop and started gaming.

"Huh?" Nanami yawned. When did I fall asleep?

Nanami sat on her bed. Laptop was put away next to the bed.

When? Nanami thought. I didn't put it there. She decided to seek the answer later.

Nanami walked to the living room. "Good morning!"

No answer. Nanami looked around. Her kitchen's door was closed. She knocked the door. "Sorry to interrupt Hinata-kun... Whoa!" Nanami's eyes shone.

"Oh, good morning Nanami-san! Guess that I didn't make it in time..." Hinata was placing a plate full of pancakes to Nanami's table. "I tried to surprise you with these but I haven't yet do all..."

"No, don't worry about it! This is so wonderful! I haven't eaten pancakes for a really long time!" Nanami toke a plate next to the pancake plate.

Hinata sat to the table and took one plate, too. Nanami took five pancakes at the same time and put those to her plate. Hinata took a few pancakes less than Nanami.

"Did you put my laptop away when I fell asleep?"

"When I woke up to make these, I checked that were you asleep. The laptop was next to you and I put it away so you don't accidentally break it." Hinata stuffed the pancakes to his mouth.

"These pancakes are good!" Nanami toke more of them.

"Thanks, Nanami-san." Hinata smiled. "Are we going to play after this?"

"Why not?" Nanami said with mouth full of pancake. Her talking was more like mumbling. She gulped them down. "Or why not take pancakes there and eat them at the same time as we play?"

"Good idea." They toke the pancakes to Nanami's room.

Nanami passed the controller to Hinata. "Here." Hinata continued playing.

"A blackout? How?"

Nanami sat next to Hinata and ate pancakes. She loved them - especially because Hinata made them. "Continue the game, then you know."

Hinata continued playing. "It can't be. There can't be nothing..."

Then Hinata went quiet.

"Hinata-kun? Are you okay?"

Hinata answered with extremely monotony tone.

"This game just is boring."

A/N Now the plot is progressing! Were you surprised? Maybe you are. Maybe you're not ;_; . I hope you were. And about the next chapter. I'm going to post it before next Sunday so it can be here before that. I'm hoping, you're looking forward to it! (^u^)/
